_You can be a writer,even though you have always received terrible scores in your writings.

You can be a writer,even though your teachers have tried many different ways to ruin your interests in writing.

You can be a writer,even though during all those years in school, you have learned nothing but exam-taking skills.

You can be a writer,even though there have been so many rules and models trying to kill your creativity.

Do you still remember...how your heart sankwhen you heard another composition homework for the long-awaited weekend?

Do you still remember...how your tears fell off your facewhen you had to finish the composition even your mind was in blank?

Do you still remember...how you just copied a few paragraphs from different reference books,and then handed it in as your own writing?

Do you still remember...how your parents laughed at youand critisized on your writingwhen you were already doing your best?

But all that doesn't mean you can't be a writer.We all make mistakes. Our schools, our teachers, our parents and ourselves.All you have to isfeel the pain, send them love, and let them go.We can always learn and grow from others' or our own mistakes.

It's time to move on.It's time to let go.It's time to venture and discover.And more importantly,it's time to create!

Writing can be fun and intuitive.Writing can be free and fluid.Writing can be creative and even exciting!

You can be a writer!Just forget about what you have been told.And don't allow others to tell you what you can't do.

You can be a writer!Just forget about what you have been telling yourself.And don't allow yourself to tell you what you can't do.

You can be a writer!as long as you have the desire and keep your faith in it.

Actually, you can be whatever you want to be!And you should be.Because that's the best way not to waste your life.
